I agree with your comment about an adjustable driver's seat because I'm short and Fireboy is tall.
We have a block on the pedal and it's very easy to take off.
I've tried a backrest and for me, I find the block easier. But it's all personal preference.

We have an arrangement for over 50 years. Generally speaking, I don’t tell her what house she wants to buy and decorate (within our known budget) and she doesn’t tell me what car or cart to purchase. (Again, within our known budget) It works.

The dream cart is pretty simple for me. It must have turn signals like those on my car. I currently don’t need a backup camera as I can still turn to see what’s behind me but I want a gas cart that is just as quiet (not almost) as a battery one. And I want a secret super charge button that will allow me to pass those that pass me going 25-30mph. Zoom! Well, those that follow “all the rules” can rarely have any fun. Folks, have a nice day...

A cart that looks like my first car out of high school........a brand new 1967 GTO.

Thinking I will order an all black Yamaha QuietTech Drive 2 with a black Cutis cab...This, wear a straw hat and grow a beard, so everyone would think I am Amish from Ohio, or Pennsylvania....

I would like something really unusual, like pink polka dot paint job, but sometimes Henry uses my golf cart and I don't think he would like to drive a pink polka dot cart.

Maybe I am wrong. He is a secure person and a man.

He might not even notice the color. ;)

Just do it! We will all know you when we see your cart.

Go for it! IMHO, you can never have too much whimsy in your life.

Perhaps a colorful airbrush of a lady in pink polka-dotted pantaloons bending over a pair of tacky pink flamingos, surrounded by a field of flowers made out of budweiser bottle caps and cut coors cans for petals. All on the hood. And on the top canopy of the golf cart, tye-dye, of course!

Go for it. There are no cart restrictions.

Windshield wipers.

You still have to know which way to turn the steering wheel:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Gotta have a "deadman knob".

We have two carts, and I’d pretty much like a combination of both:

The range of the gas cart with the quiet of the electric cart. (Lithium batteries maybe?)

The reaction speed of the EZ-Go with the top speed of the Yamaha.

Half doors like the Yesteryear. Simple golf bag access like the EZGo.

A trunk the size of the Yesteryear. (Three bags of groceries!). More cup holders and glove compartments like the EZ-Go.

I saw an electric cart that looked like a car from the Jetson’s. It had the half doors and a hood with a trunk. However I couldn’t find one like it for sale anywhere.

I love this thread, and the golf cart is awesome.
But I'm not sure it would be allowed on an actual golf course. :evil6:

I installed individual sliding seats from UltimategolfSeating.com. With UK Wildcats stitched into the headrests. I also installed a really loud horn(140 decibels) but not quite as loud as I had on my Ford dually. Also have the suicide knob on my steering wheel. Annnd I have the ultimate stereo with blue tooth and USB that my neighbor installed. He also installed some fantastic lights on my cart. My wife also says "I built my dream cart now live with it."

Maybe we could get a discount if we buy in volume. I think we may have a problemo on the Golf Cart (To The Hysterical Section) and the Morris (Morse) Bridge.

That is the sharpest Cart since I Spotter one that looked like the Munster Coach at Brownwood about 2 years ago.

Shock Absorbers?
 
I'm surprised no one said "Shock Absorbers" for their dream golf cart. I've found some of the MMP's in the area to be a bit rough going, and bouncy - the cushioned bucket seats help some, but there's not much shock absorption on the part of the cart. I asked three different places and they looked at me funny and said, "Golf carts don't come with shocks". It would be a bit more comfortable (and safer, too) if the wheels could move more when you hit a bump or a pothole! Just one thing - I'd also go for red with black trim, looking just like the Cruella de Ville car just for the wife! (Hey, it's her dream, who am I to question?)

Adjustable shock absorbers would be great!

Which golf carts no longer come with shocks (at a minimum, at least front ones)? :confused:

Electric...to boot! :cool:
